[Dolly Parton:]
Hey, Miley
It’s me, I’m in Nashville
I’m on my way to Dollywood, busy as you are
Can’t get enough stuff to do, can’t
But anyway, I’m excited about singing with you
So I’m just gonna turn my CD player on with you singing
I’m gon’ put this on a cassette
Sing along with it, and then I’ll run you off a CD later
Oh, I’m so high tech
I got a flip phone too
But anyhow, see what you think
And mmm, here I go
Come on
[Miley Cyrus & Dolly Parton:]
Livin’ in a rainbowland
Where everything goes as planned and I smile
‘Cause I know if we tried, we could really make a difference in this world
I won’t give up or sleep a wink
It’s the only thought I think
You know where I stand
I believe we can start livin’ in a rainbowland
Livin’ in a rainbowland
Where you and I go hand in hand
Oh, I’d be lyin’ (I’d be lyin’), if I said this was fine
All the hurt and the hate going on here (hate going on here)
We are rainbows, me and you
Every color, every hue
Let’s shine through
Together we can start livin’ in a rainbowland
Living in a rainbowland
Where skies are blue and things are grand
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice to live in paradise
Where we’re free to be exactly who we are
Let’s all dig down deep inside
Brush the judgement and fear aside
Make wrong things right (all things right), and end the fight
‘Cause I promise ain’t nobody gonna win
(C’mon)
Livin’ in a rainbowland
Where you and I go hand in hand
Oh, I’d be lyin’ (I’d be lyin’), if I said this was fine
All the hurt and the hate going on here (hate going on here)
We are rainbows, me and you
Every color, every hue
Let’s shine through
Together we can start livin’ in a rainbowland
Livin’ in a rainbowland
Where you and I go hand in hand together (let’s do it together)
Change things forever (forever)
I know there’s got to be a greener plan
We are rainbows, me and you
Every color, every hue
Let’s shine through (shine my head)
Together we can start livin’ in a rainbowland
[Dolly Parton:]
Hey, Miley
Look, I know it sounds scrambled when I’m singing it with you
But [?] do a little bit better
At least, I may not get it all the way through
‘Cause I’m not sure of the structure without you
But I think this could work well, don’t you?
If not, like I said
I’ll write that love song for you
You probably wrote it about some boy you loved, didn’t you?
Well…
MALIBU
***************
I never came to the beach or stood by the ocean
I never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet in the sand
But you brought me here and I’m happy that you did
‘Cause now I’m as free as birds catching the wind
I always thought I would sink, so I never swam
I never went boatin’, don’t get how they are floatin’
And sometimes I get so scared
Of what I can’t understand
But here I am
Next to you
The sky’s more blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you, baby
We watched the sun go down as we were walking
I’d spend the rest of my life just standing here talking
You would explain the current as I just smile
Hoping that you’ll stay the same and nothing will change
And it’ll be us just for a while
Do they even exist?
That’s when I make the wish
To swim away with the fish
Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
I never would’ve believed you
If three years ago you told me
I’d be here writing this song
But here I am
Next to you
The sky’s so blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you, baby
Next to you
The sky’s so blue
In Malibu, baby
Next to you
We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning and you’re there to save me
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
It’s a brand new start
A dream come true
In Malibu
YOUNGER NOW
***************
Feels like I just woke up
Like all this time I’ve been asleep
Even though it’s not who I am
I’m not afraid of who I used to be
No one stays the same (oh, oh)
You know what goes up must come down (oh, oh)
Change is a thing you can count on (oh, oh)
I feel so much younger now (oh, oh)
Feels like I’ve been living in a dream
But never make it to the end
My eyes open when they feel the light
It’s always right before I’m about to scream
No one stays the same (oh, oh)
You know what goes up must come down (oh, oh)
Change is a thing you can count on (oh, oh)
I feel so much younger now (oh, oh)
What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down
What goes up must come down (yeah)
No one stays the same (oh, oh)
You know what goes comes back around (oh, oh)
Change is a thing you can count on (oh, oh)
I feel so much younger now (oh, oh)
I feel so much younger now (oh, oh)
I feel so much younger now (oh, oh)
THINKING
***************
One, two, three, four
I don’t know where you always go
Why you trying to keep it on the low?
I’m always like, “Where the hell you’ve been?”
You tell me that you’ve been hanging with your friends
Something seems just a little suss
We ain’t got nothing, if there ain’t no trust
I’m not sure, but I got a hunch
And now you’ve got me thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much, much, much, much
You ain’t been callin’ me enough, ‘nough, ‘nough, ‘nough
Now I’m longing for your touch, touch, touch, touch
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
You won’t pick up the phone, phone, phone, phone
Now I’m sitting here alone, lone, lone, lone
Do you do this just for fun, fun, fun, fun
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
It’s getting late, I’m starting to obsess
You got me cryin’ and lookin’ like a mess
My daddy said, “Stay away from such”
But now you got me thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much, much, much, much
You ain’t been callin’ me enough, ‘nough, ‘nough, ‘nough
Now I’m longing for your touch, touch, touch, touch
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
You won’t pick up the phone, phone, phone, phone
Now I’m sitting here alone, lone, lone, lone
Do you do this just for fun, fun, fun, fun
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
All night, all I do is think about you
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much, much, much, much
You ain’t been callin’ me enough, ‘nough, ‘nough, ‘nough
Now I’m longing for your touch, touch, touch, touch
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
You won’t pick up the phone, phone, phone, phone
Now I’m sitting here alone, lone, lone, lone
Do you do this just for fun, fun, fun, fun
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
I’ve been thinkin’ way too much
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
Oh yeah, all I do is think about you
MISS YOU SO MUCH
***************
They say love can drive ya crazy, my dear
I wanna trap you in a locket, or in my pocket
So I can keep you near
You know I’d never hurt you
If you fall, I’d pick you up and I’d drink your tears
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
They say good things come to those who wait
It’s like countin’ in light years
I’d physically live without you, but I don’t want to
And death’s never been my fear
You can take my blood, take my bones
My heart is yours, I volunteer
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
When you look up at a rainbow
Do you ever wonder what’s really waiting at the end?
I don’t want no gold, nothing’s more than you
The amount is hard to even comprehend
Nothing I can do, I lost control
Something we hold on to so dear
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
And how at this optimal time did you just appear?
Everyone under their guard is so full of shit
But you are just so sheer
You’re my God, you’re my faith
On my knees, I look at you and I revere
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
When you look up at the cosmos
Do you ever wonder if there’s really even an end?
It might go on forever, like my love for you
An amount that’s hard to even comprehend
I won’t waste my time with wonder, in apprehension, or livin’ life in fear
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
You’re my God, you’re my faith
On my knees, I look at you and I revere
You can take my blood, take my bones
My heart is yours, I volunteer
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
But how can I miss you so much when you’re right here?
INSPIRED
***************
I’m writing down my dreams,
All I’d like to see
Starting with the bees,
Or else they’re gonna die
There won’t be no trees,
Or air for us to breathe
I’ll start feeling mad,
But then I feel inspired
Thinking about the days
Coming home with dirty feet
From playing with my dad
All day in the creek
He somehow has a way
Of knowing what to say
So when I’m feeling sad,
He makes me feel inspired
We are meant for more
You’re the handle on the door
That opens up to change
I know that sounds so strange
To think we are meant for more
You’re the handle on the door
That opens up to change
I know that sounds so strange
‘Cause you’ve always felt so small
But no, you aren’t at all
And I hope you feel inspired
Oh, I hope you feel inspired
And how can we escape
All the fear and all the hate?
Is anyone watching us down here?
Death is life, it’s not a curse
Reminds us of time and what it’s worth
To make the most of it while we’re here
We are meant for more
You’re the handle on the door
That opens up to change
I know it sounds so strange
To think we are meant for more
There’s a lock upon the door
But we hold the key to change
But how can we escape
All the fear and all the hate?
Is anyone watching us down here?
